After more than a year of delays, development is progressing at the $100 million Providence Place project in Arlington, but difficult market conditions are leading to changes in plans.
On Monday, Oct. 7, the town’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved an amendment removing the age restriction tag on 60 loft apartments. Lenders are shying away from age-restricted projects since the pandemic due to issues with fair housing laws.
With the change, developers plan to offer discounted and promotional rates for seniors and honorably discharged veterans, more of an age-directed approach.
City staff supported the change.
